There’s a common phrase: “These are our leaders of the future.” But I believe that no one is ever too old or too young to serve the Lord. These young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow—they are the leaders of today.

Praise the Lord! I want to thank God for the privilege of serving alongside my wife and for the opportunity to be a blessing to this incredible group of young people. On behalf of both of us, I want to thank you for your continued support. As someone who grew up as an orphan without both parents, I know firsthand the challenges and temptations young people face. Without a support system at home, it was hard to navigate peer pressure and avoid falling into temptation. But since coming to know the Lord, I’ve developed a deep passion for this generation. My heart is to give them what I didn’t have—support, guidance, direction, a sense of self-worth, and, most importantly, Jesus.
